    Sounds like my first wife.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I thought Vince said you'd love his nuts? That's why I haven't bought it. I haven't run out of my own yet.

    I had an ex girl friend like that. She never told me she was a paranoid schizophrenic with a tendency towards killing. She had a collection of very expensive hand made Bowie knives and several times she tried to kill me with one of them. I broke up with her when she started applying for a gun permit.

    I have had the same problems with these new fangled food choppers and food processors. They turn the stuff into a paste. I use a regular knife. It takes a little bit longer but it works the best.

    As far as onion tears, I use ski goggles, and chop away.

    Pause the chopping and turn my head to take a breath.

    Easy peasy. And the mezzaluna makes it go faster.

    The way to use a food processor is to pulse. One or two seconds at a time and check the coarseness. It is designed to greatly speed up the chopping or slicing depending on the blade. I like the plastic blade for dough.

    So, until the gun permit thing, the knives were a turn on?

    I think he was Harold as portrayed by Bud Cort.

    I'm going with yes, and arriving at that assumption was not particularly difficult after reading literally thousands of post by John over the years.
